This Wiki could be used as my space for collecting, categorizing and composing my writing and research for my studies in the new interdisciplinary Media, Art and Textprogram at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Some of my media explorations can be found in Beeble's Blog
Though I enjoy using digital media and I appreciate the new challenges and opportunities it presents but I'm still a bigger fan of that more ancient, sturdy and endlessly applicable technology the ALPHABET.
A convenient and useful way to gather research materials is to use online texts and copy-and-paste to gather the passages you might cite or that might be useful in developing your writing or supporting a thesis. Note how I use different colors and fonts to distinguish my notes from my citations to help prevent accidental plagiarism. I can also pair up passages with relevant source texts and embed my resources as files (.pdf "portable document format" or .doc .docx "Word document"). You could even copy-and-paste passages from one of your sources and have the source file embedded next to the citations chosen.
"Bokanovsky's Process," repeated the Director, and the students underlined the words in their little notebooks.
One egg, one embryo, one adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress."
My NOTE: Huxley uses many names from history in his novel, but I had always thought that he made up the name "Bokanovsky" and that it had no connection to history. Then I did a search for "Bokanovsky" in academic journals and I found an interesting source: "Huxley's Bokanovsky" from Science Fiction Studies, March 1989, pp. 85-89
